There has to be a way for Congress to just shutdown Whitehouse spending funds. You'd think it would be absolutely 100% of Congress voting to eliminate Whitehouse funds until Vought is removed. It's in Congress's interest to protect their silo of responsibility...but alas, cowards.

I do not understand why the whole press corps didn't walk out enmass. When Trump prevented news reporters access, he trampled on Free Speech and free press. Solidarity of the press would piss trump off and deprive him of the attention he craves. He's a bully. No attention = TACO.

How do we recall Senator Grassley and vote him out right now? He is worthless and impotent in the face of the destruction of historic structures. The Rose Garden destruction and constant corruption should have been enough to impeach. He's just pandering to Trump's whims.

Overnight, Trump posted that he would bomb Oman if they didn't let him run the Strait of Hormuz. It's as if he's trying to dare Arab countries to close US bases and reject US military use of facilities. While he has the ability, I don't think Trump has the credibility left to dictate terms.
